We’ve been to Matthiessen State Park several times since we’ve lived here…

And, we went again today….
Paul and I had a day of hiking and grilling out….we had a great time….

When we go to Matthiessen, I like to go hiking “down below” and get up close and personal with the waterfalls….well, Paul doesn’t really like to do that, so we just stayed on the top….it was still really nice, and I think my feet probably thanked me b/c they didn’t get quite as muddy as they would’ve down below. And, from what we saw, you can’t even get close to the waterfalls b/c the trails have been washed away….

And, of course, we stopped at the Root Beer Stand in Oglesby on the way home….
(Why I wanted to eat ice cream after we had been hiking in the rain, I don’t know)….

Thank you, honey, for a day out….
